Description:
The coin’s reverse portrays a dove, which has become an international symbol of peace. In its beak, the bird is carrying a red poppy, another poignant symbol. Red poppies were the first flowers to bloom in the devastated battlefields of Western Europe and are now linked with European remembrance ceremonies of World War I. Behind the dove, the word “peace” is written in different fonts. On top of the coin, the inscription: "1918" - the year of the war. On the bottom, the inscription: "END OF WORLD WAR I" - the name of the coin. In the left field, The Perth Mint's traditional "P" mint mark and the designers initials “AH” feature in the upper feather of dove's wing.
